| Abstract: The film of surface active agents spread out on the surface of the electrolyte of Thioacetamide and cadmium chloride. CdS nanofilm was deposited at the interface of surface active agents and electrolyt by the method of electrodeposition. The optimal conditions on which the nanofilm was prepared of the least crystals and uniform particles could be attained via analytical results of L16(45) orthogonal experiments. The optimal conditions: castor oil/hexadecanoll 0.06 mL·cm-2，CdCl2/CH3CSNH2 4 mmol·L-1, cell voltage 5 V, electrodeposition temperature 15 ℃. The effects on the grain size of temperature, surface-active agent, electrodyte concentration, cell voltage and pH become smaller in the series. If the temperature was high, the movement of molecules of surface-active agent and electrodyte would be faster, thus the preparation of the film would be difficult. The grain size of thinfilm varied with the surface-active agents, however, when the amount of surface-active agents reached a certain value, the grain size would remain unchanged. The higher the electrodyte concentration, the larger the grain size of nanofilm. The surface forms were changed at the same time. If the pH of the electrodyte was higher or lower, nanofilm could not be prepared successfully, thus the pH range should be is 3～6. SEM image of the nanofilm shows the occurance of dendrite. The sucessful preparation of nanofilm is closely related to the nature of surface activre agent due to the nanofilm growth mechanism. |
